Gotta love any training program that begins on a rest day. I technically start today, but the running doesn’t start until tomorrow. I’m glad that weather from last week is gone, I have a better chance of surviving this now.

I have to figure out some way to post my training schedule so I can refer to it. I will get back to you shortly…

Good day.

I felt pretty good for the first 3 miles.  It was kinda like Rocky IV when Rocky was training out in the middle of the snow in Russia.  I felt rad.  After that though, when my eyelashes started freezing together, I starting thinking that it might be a good idea to curl up in a little ball and take a nap for a few minutes in a snow bank.  I didn’t actually do it and made it home in one piece, but it was by far the most miserable run of the year.

DRAGO!!!
